QC is pretty poor on these tables. One of the barrel nuts came with no inner threads so I was not able to completely assemble one of the tables, and am working to get this part or demand a refund. The wood is pretty thin and not all of the panels are aligned that well. Given the price point, I don't expect New Yankee Workshop quality, but time will tell how long these will last in a covered deck area. It is also not clear what sort of finish is on the wood, so I may try a test section with linseed oil to hopefully provide more weather proofing.
